How could Balloon Dad Richard Heene not have known that Balloon Boy Falcon Heene wasn’t in/on/around the UFO balloon if this is the video that shows the launch, where everyone present could see right through the thing?
Thusly:
Also, this craft is barely capable of lifting itself at the 5000 or so foot elevation in this part of Colorado. Wouldn’t the father know that?
You could build a helium balloon to lift a child, but you’d have to put in a lot of internal structure to get it to maintain such an alien shape. So, it would have to be bigger than this thing.
Oh well.
